1998 Accord LX.- AUTO- trans.

The shift between the seat has a screw on the handle that comes out once every few months. When I look at it, the screw comes out on the driver side.
On the passenger side, there also a hole. Is there a cap that goes there? or is there another screw that also goes on on the passenger side?

I am thinking about taking the screw out on the driver side and add a dab of "Lock-tite" just to keep it form coming out again. This locktite is not permament, but just to keep it from working loose.

Any suggestions?

 

 

Do you mean you're going to use "screw tite" (a light weight version of blue loctite). I think that should work very well, and won't be a permanent, like regular blue loctite would be.

 

blue loctite isn't permanent, the green one is.

 

Loctite comes in different strengths read bottle and be sure you're not using a permanent one that's all.

 

Parts drawing shows both screws identical. So you could get another screw the same (even from a hardware store) for the other side. Some Loctite would still be good...

 

Not to change the subject but I always have the same issue with the damn little screw in the Honda key/fob. They have some "blue" thread sealer on them also but always back out.

 

Thanks for the inputs... I decided to get an extra screw from the junkyard. Then I used teflon tape on the threads.

If you don't hear from me again, then that means problem is solved. If the screws come out again, then I will try "blue tite".
